Hi Adam and welcome, What do you need exactly when you say you want to develop on ARM platform and what kind of software do you want to develop (or port )? ARM platform is a vast world, if you only look at four Cortex-8 CPU, you'll find that they are quite differents : OMAP3 (beagleboard) http://focus.ti.com/dsp/docs/dspcontent.tsp?contentId=53403 iMX515 http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=i.MX515 PXA168 http://www.marvell.com/featured/pxa168.jsp Snapdragon : http://www.qctconnect.com/products/snapdragon.html#TechnicalFeatures For more information about ARM architecture, you'll find some good technicals data on ARM website (need to register but it's free). http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?noscript=1 For more ressources about a CPU (OMAP, ...), you'll probably find info on TI, Freescale, Marvell, Qualcomm, ... website. For OMAP3530 (beagleboard) : http://focus.ti.com/dsp/docs/dspfindtoolswbytooltype.tsp?sectionId=3&tabId=2088&toolTypeId=1&familyId=44 How to maintain Fedora packages : http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers I'm not sure i've correctly answer your questions, but i hope this help you a bit.
